Caterpillar




I'm finding it so difficult choosing which photo to upload next, I'm torn between so many, I just want to put them all up now! Just getting through the Fiji shots alone is a task.
This particular photo I like to refer to as the 'caterpillar'. Completely irrelevant at first, until you hear the story behind it:
During playtime the kids were playing in the sandpit, and there was construction work going on. In true Fijian style, having no such thing or even the faintest hint of "workplace health and safety" the kids were playing in and around the worksite. All activity stopped however when the 'catepillar' came out - the contruction digger (in which a man was joyriding in the scoop of, haha). The kids were fascinated with it, calling it the 'caterpillar', grouping together to simply watch it work for a solid 20 minutes, I'd never seen them so still. After all work had ceased the kids went up to investigate. They discovered a small oil leak and were very concerned, informing us that the 'caterpillar was bleeding! come and see! oh no! the caterpillar is bleeding!'.
Kids are great.
